I have an A700 with a Minolta 28-85mm, 70-210mm, and Sony 35mm 1.8. But I have a few problems first of all I love UWA lens shots, and I do not have a UWA lens, but I want to get one, problem it looks like Sony is going to SLT design for the A700 replacement (maybe in whole lineup in the future). I do not prefer SLT cameras, I tried one and hated the viewfinder, it was one shot slower, and the resolution was terrible, plus the camera was too small for my hands.
Now 2 lenses I want to buy is a UWA lens and a fast midranged zoom lens. But I do not for what system, I do not want to buy it for my Sony because either way I am getting something other than a Sony for my next camera. Next year for sure I am buying a FF camera, and it is not a Sony A850 because that thing has almost the same high ISO performance of a D7000, I am waiting for either the Mark 5D ii replacement, or D700 replacement. Now what i am thinking about doing is selling my Sony A700 + 35mm 1.8 (what do you expect I would get with 1.5 year warranty still remaining?), and with those funds either buying an in term Crop sensor Canon or Nikon, and then buying the UWA lens and midrange zoom.
Reasons why I do not like my A700:
1. Very bad high ISO performance I have V4 firmware, with NR off, and my ISO 800 is unacceptable, let alone ISO 1600, or god forbid ISO 2200 on my A700.
2. Very bad AF in low light, in fact I find the Af very bad in all lighting situations
This summer I am going to Turkey (I go every year for 4 months), this is the first time I take a DSLR. I need high ISO performance in Mosque's museums where flash is not allowed and rude to use. Also general photography, and my favourite city scape wide angle HDR.
